Indians are great

               After digging to a depth of 100 metres last year,
               Russian scientists found
               traces of copper wire dating back 1000 years, and
               came to the conclusion
               that their ancestors already had a telephone
               network one thousand years
               ago.
               
               So, not to be outdone, in the weeks that followed,
               American scientists dug
               200 metres and headlines in the US papers read:
               "US scientists have found traces of 2000 year old
               optical fibres, and have
               concluded that their ancestors already had
               advanced high-tech digital
               telephone 1000 years earlier than the Russians."
               
               One week later, the Indian newspapers reported the
               following:
               "After digging as deep as 500 metres, Indian
               scientists have found
               absolutely nothing. They have concluded that 5000
               years ago, their
               ancestors   were already using wireless technology .
